Not to be a total brown nose, but I've been using cygwin for a long time
and this is only the second time I've had to resort to a snapshot to
solve a problem. In other words cygwin is normally stable enough so I
don't think to try a snapshot.
I should have tried it before posting.
At least I learned how to build a debug version of the binutils package
on cygwin.
Thanks again, and I forgot to thank René Berber for his input,
Pete
